Do we act or react ?

A day of learning

Sadasiva Brahmendra sang," with the folded
hand as pillow,with sky as blanket,the bare ground as bed and dispassion
as wife, thus sleeps a renunciate in the blessed state of samadhi".
Once he was himself in that blissful pose of sleep on the ground in an
open field. A farmer girl who was passing by, remarked to her friend
,with a sarcastic smile " what a sannyasi! He needs a head rest for his
head. What type of renunciation is this?". This made sadasiva brahmenda
think," how come I'm thinking like an ordinary man that the head has to
rest above the level of the rest of the body in order to sleep? Unless I
get rid of this attachment to the body, my sannyasa is not worth the
salt. It is only Mother Goddess who has come in the form of this low
caste woman to give me upadesa". Thus thinking, he removed his hand that
was used as a head rest and lay on the ground without a head rest.

But the same woman who had commented earlier passed that way again ,saw
the change in posture of the sannyasi and again gave a sarcastic laugh
followed by an equally sarcastic comment," a sannyasi should know things
for himself. Just to keep reacting to comments made by passers by does
not speak well of renunciation!". That was the day when sadasiva
became an honest to goodness,non reacting, non acting, non responding
inert like entity, sadasiva Brahman!

Blogger's Note

One thing that is important to note here is that, whatever I may write about Isha Yoga, it is always about my perspective of Isha Yoga and limited. It can never give a complete view of Isha Yoga. To know about Isha Yoga is infinite.
